- These six lion cubs were extremely excited and happy to hear the calls of their mother and came running as soon as they heard her.

Jaco Joubert, a professional guide at @MalaMalaGameReserve captured this adorable sighting while on safari. He shared his footage and story with LatestSightings.com.
A telltale sign that a lioness has cubs is suckle marks on her underbelly. And this particular Kambula lioness had plenty of it. The rangers and guides at MalaMala all knew that she had cubs, and everyone was eager to see these tiny balls of fur!
On this particular morning, the guide found her all alone. She looked like she had a full belly and was walking with a lot of intent, but this time it wasn’t to hunt. She was focused on another mission even walking just meters from a herd of wildebeests, without looking their way.
As she continued, she let out low-frequency contact calls, and the group and guide knew that if they followed her, they were going to be in for a treat. She was heading from the open plains to a more thick, dense bush.
Scanning the direction, she was heading, it was extremely thick, and there was no movement to be seen. Mom picked up her pace, showing a look of nervousness on her face, perhaps due to the presence of another large game near where her babies were stashed. After waiting some time to see where Mom was heading, the group began to get nervous that maybe the cubs were very well hidden. And when mom eventually reaches them, it might be too thick to see them.
But just then, from the corner of the guide's eye, he saw movement! It was a tiny lion cub, with tufts of hair on his ears barely visible in the long grass. One, then two, then three, and they just kept coming until a total of six tiny cubs came running and calling in the cutest manner, trying to respond to their mom!
The cubs looked like they were trying to say, "Here, mom, we are over here.” They ran as fast as their short, tiny legs could take them. Mom found a comfortable place next to the road in the open and sat patiently for them. They were so excited at this point that they were jumping and hoping with a bounce in their step!
As soon as they reached their Mom, they tackled her and jumped on top of her! They wanted milk; they were like little kittens, purring and wagging their tails. Each of the little cubs fell perfectly into place as soon as Mom turned on her side, and they began suckling. Not bothered by the group's presence, mom and babies were having a moment of bonding and love.

Wow six cubs is a lot I'm so glad she found them and I wish them all to stay safe and healthy! ❤️❤️❤️
😊
You fell for the clueless title. NOT LOST!
1 maybe 2 at most will make it 😢
@@leq6992 I think I saw somewhere that only around 40% make it to their first birthday, and course more die after that.
I’m glad they all stuck together while they were without mom. That’s so sweet. She crouched down to their level to let them know it was OK.❤
Yes! Wasn’t that amazing!!! She tried to put them at ease❤️❤️❤️
Did you notice how the mother, while greeting the cubs, waited for the last one to arrive before turning over so they can all feed. Amazing mother!!! Beautful video!!!
You must be a mother yourself!
I only noticed just how much of this saccharine crap turns up in my feed.
Lions only have 4 nipples. There are way more than 4 cubs… and the cubs aren’t known to take turns to suckles but would fiercely and aggressively defend its share of nipples… so most likely the last one won’t get to feed unfortunately.
They're like rats swarming all over mom. Lol.
Noticed the same thing, mom realized they were hungry😳❤👌
She laid right down knowing her babies were hungry! 😢😊
Instead of rushing in, she lower down making herself smaller because she sensed they were hesitant. Very caring mother.
Very true.
Animal specialist and perfect observer🦁👍💪
@My_pfp_beats_all_dog_breeds. Except the ones that aren't...
Brilliant observation.
This is an awesome insight.
Poor babies. Glad they found mom
They’re probably dead by now
@@dustbunny4527What makes you say that?
@@dustbunny4527You're a ray of sunshine, aren't you? Always look on the bright side, eh? 🙄
Oh my goodness! Everyone’s so glad to see each other! And so hungry! Bless them!❤
She started a whole new pride of lions
If just one of these 6 cubs makes it to adulthood, it would be a good result.
@@ScarlettM these are statistics distorted by the reduction of the habitat, it is obvious that if the environment is reduced it will be more difficult to avoid conflicts with many beasts in less space (for a litter, without his pride then, is even worse) without considering than the human activity in the surrounding area (another huge risk,first for the mother and indirectly for hers cubs)
@@glaxb17 - Yeah, no... those are just the hard facts of natural selection and competition amongst predators. About 80% of all lion cubs will be lost before reaching two years old due to predation by hyenas, leopards, wild dogs, and of course starvation, sickness and abandonment.
@@Mr.Ekshin . . . or getting killed after their father gets overthrown by a younger male.
Those little roars from them precious beautiful cubs is so sweet to hear & never gets old❤
This female lion is a better mom than some of the human moms I know. There are so many mothers in my old neighborhood that don't deserve their children
@tony1876 they have it for the welfare check
There is always someone who has to post the animals are better than humans thing isnt there. Lazy thinking.
Most human step fathers dont kill all the existing young when they move in. Some do but we imprison them.
Male lions, and sone other male animals, do. The chief female meerkat will kill all kits of other meerkats and try and prevent them from mating in the 1st place.
Etc.etc.
Wow thats alot of cubs to be lost and still be safe
With all those cubs she's going to need the protection of her clan(if she has one)
God blessed the lm truly. Lots of predators out there. Lovely to see they were fine
@@judyparsons1333 those cubs are too young for her to take back to her clan.
They weren't lost. They hide when mom goes hunting. She calls and they come running. When they get older another lioness will care for them when the whole group goes hunting. It's the clan that cares for them.
@@HollyMoore-wo2mhit’s typical click bait. Remember the job of this channel is to attract people to make money.
Straight in for the milk and Mother didn't tell them off!
Six cubs! That's a huge litter for a lioness.
She's a great example of a devoted mother. Much better than some people.
Stereotype! Not all mothers are the same, even for lions!
It's only the Human animal that gets it wrong.....
@@nr3059
Hit a nerve, did we?😅
@@nr3059I did not see the word "all" in the comment. Did you feel guilt by this comment by any chance ?
@@nr3059May be your mother is not devoted so you are angry ?
Nothing like a mother and her babies. Amazing.
Not all Mothers.
These cubs weren't "lost." The lioness went out hunting and left the cubs behind. We are seeing her returning after the hunt. This is nature, not a Disney story.
Well it was still a reunion after her hunt and all cubs were still there. Opinion from a mother :)
I'll bet you're the life of the party.
@@Keko337 I bet you're a conspiracist, not cool..
They must make the title as sensational as they could to attract more views and likes
This may be the Disney version but I would rather see a happy family than watch a bunch of orphan cubs searching and finding their mama not responsive.
Stop, drop, and roll....feeding time. That was 😍
There are six of them and lionesses have only four nipples.
0:13 wildebeests be like, those lil brats would eat us one day
Those cubs look very thin, they needed mom desperately ❤ and mom was engorged, I’m sure she felt much relief from nursing
Indeed !
Another Lion expert.
@@LifeCycle1978 you can see ribs and hips and her nipples are large and swollen. I’m not a lion but I have breastfed 3 kids before.
See how sweet mom's are. May Allah bless our moms and parents
That's because she is feeding six!! She needed time off to find food for herself.
This is the one time here I’ll say, we have to appreciate how cute Lions are.
How is every person who is viewing this not dropping at least a like on such a magical moment!
... really?
@@squidjames7735 obviously!!
She simply went back to where she LEFT the cubs back at her den while she went hunting. Only idiots and the nieve would leave a like. Only a liar would leave such a thumbnail.
If I went on a safari, I'd be tempted to kidnap one of those adorable cubs. The mother and aunts would probably kidnap me as well.
Milk bar has officially opened
That's so beautiful. God bless those cubs with long life
Leave God out of this, it's the Male Lions who will decide the fate of these 6 cups! Typically, 2 out of 6 will possibly make it to adulthood
Cubs be like welcome home, Mama. The milk bar is open😂😂😂.
And oh how happy they are to see mom!!! ❤
That's a large litter of cubs, hope they all make it to adulthood
Cats are such good moms, all the ones I’ve seen, very protective of their babies
Beautiful moment
The cubs are so cute and adorable!
wow, the 6 lion cubs are so adorable, the mother takes good care of them, I hope they will be safe 😘
PRICELESS creatures by Almighty God...May God bless them❤❤❤
Wow 6 cubs! Amazing
What a beautiful sight to see.Awesome ❤👌😊
That poor girl has her hands full
All the four legs full 😂
An absolutely wonderful video !! I'm so happy they were reunited .🤗
Mother’s breast milk is liquid GOLD for cubs😅
So beautiful! They were famished and she knew it.
That was pretty amazing to watch...😍
They were not lost, they waited in a safe hiding spot until momma came with their meal.
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the video. 🙏❤
What a heart warning reunion ❤♥️🦁🦁🦁
She’s a good mother,with her adorable cubs.🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
This one mother started a baby boom!

Loving mother and simply adorable little ones
Oh Babies ❤😊 It's Mommy ❤❤❤ 🎉 So So Happy for Them God Bless ! ❣️
Not even a hi Mom!! "But a lay down mom we're hungry and want to eat".😊
Mommas back and the bar is open Boyz! 😙
I can’t imagine this Mom caring for
“ 6 “ Babies !!. Usually I have only seen 2 or 3 at the most !!!
What a BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!!!
I've seen 5 a few times but never 6.
The cub vocalizations were the best
wowww🎉🎉🎉
Happy family reunion ❤❤
I see no evidence of these cubs being lost. Is lost a clickbait word?
Wow, those tiny lions attacked and took down that big lion. Nature is amazing
So wonderful. She's got her work cut out for her. Good mama. Cat mamas have hard work in feeding and protecting their young
I love mother like her because she truly loves her babies.
They hunted her down like she was a Cape Buffalo (0:50)
Lol
Que hambre tenían, santos
سبحان من خلقك أيتها الأم الأميرة
طيبة ورحمة وعطف وحب وحنان
لا توجد هذه الصفات إلا في نوادر البشر!
Mother love is always amazing❤❤❤
May God bless and save all mothers.
Oh my💔 hurts I want them all they are such🌹 Beautiful🦁 lion cubs. 🙏God keep them safe always.
what an adorable family....simply precious
Beautiful caring mother. “You’re home now come and have a feed “❤😊
There's no chance for those little ones to survive
without mama and the pride...beautiful to see them come running !
THE MOST IMPORTANT BEAUTIFUL THING 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
wow those kids are so adorable
sound cubs like sound minions, aaw aaw aaw😅
Good thing, the Cubs are alive
And so it all is well as things after a spectacular reunion.
dinner time guys, hurry up before wildebeests distract mom again 😁
With that many cubs, she probably ran away from home! Lol
Такие милые детки
Omg well done mum 6 babies and are all well cared for ❤
That was so lovely. Waiting for mums return. How lovely. 😊❤🎉
The cubs were not lost. CLICK BAIT. Title should be "Mother Lion calls for her 6 young cubs"
Tuhan Yesus memberkati mereka❤🇮🇩Indonesia🙏
that ending was so brutal. 🔥
Looks like the milk is back on the menu boyz
God's creation
Something larger than a god created this and not only that. It created the feeling of empathy in the mind of sentience.
We know it's only hormones and condition but we see beauty.
Yes u are right
What a beautiful cubs dying to c their mother after, God knows ,how long they were lost for few hrs or more!!!
Loving caring mother longing to c them and wanting g to feed immediately.
God bless them all and wish them the best.
Beautiful reunion...a happy moment
I like such video very much.
6 babies! what a trooper!
Those cubs are just adorable!
A Beautiful Union between the Lionesses and her Cubs 😍🥰😘🤗💞❤💞❤💞❤
So happy all these babies kept together and finally found their mama, she should be proud to have her very own pride.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
*dies from cuteness *
Brought my tears, beautiful mum & cubs
God this is the most beautiful thing I have seen for a long time, all of them reunited as one family!
Never underestimate the power of love from your own mother.
My Mama was like that. Never thought of herself. Always her children. No matter our age. I miss her so much.
They looked like they skipped some meals .glad thefound one of their mothers
Lots of cubs.
What a beautiful moment!
Mom did not seem excited at all, just laid there in the grass like, "Ho, hum. What's that? Children? I have children nearby?" LOL And wow, she's got a LOT of cubs!
O M 🦁, so visceral & sublime. Can’t never get enough of lion cubbies & mum… The are the magnificent gift from nature. Hard to fathom how their lives are so precarious. We give need to give more.
Witnessing the circle of life right there, out with the old and in with the new.
